Good evening everyone! Here’s the wizard nebula! This nebula is about 8500 light years from earth in the Perseus arm of the Milky Way galaxy!
The cluster of stars itself spans around 20 light years and has an estimated age of 4-11.9 million years. #space is very cool

I processed this image of the Elephant’s Trunk nebula using data from Telescope Live. The data was so easy to play with 😍🔭

The Dark Shark Nebula (LDN 1235). 12 hours taken in September with a 10" Newtonian. Hoping for a clear sky soon after weeks of rain. #Astrophotography #astronomy

My image of the Double Cluster NGC 869 and 884 in Perseus, located 7640 light years away. #astrodon #astronomy #astrophotography #space #ngc #cluster #stars

Time for a night time photo? I think so. In all my life I’ve ever taken one photo of star trails. I went out hoping to catch some meteors and drove down to Santa Pola.
This is the result.
I’ll have to try it again one day.
Goodnight everyone.

Hey #EOChat, #gischat & #ScienceMastodon:

➡️Are you hiring for a position in #remotesensing, #Earthobservations, #GIS, or #geospatial?
➡️Have you read a new paper led by an underrepresented scientist in #EO?
➡️Do you want to connect with others working towards #diversity, #equity, & #inclusivity #DEI #DEIJ in #STEM?

Well then, tag us @LadiesOfLandsat and we’ll boost your toot to our network! 🛰️

We might even highlight your paper on a future #LoLManuscriptMonday 🤗

Today is #LGBTSTEMDay a day to recognize the presence and contribution of #LGBTQIA2S #queer folks in #STEM fields!

I’m so grateful for all my amazing queer friends and mentors over the years! They helped me see that I had a place here, first as a bi/pan individual, then as an trans individual when I came out as non-binary (agender) a few years ago!

I’m trying to pay that forward, supporting the @queerornithology community and beyond!

Just heading back from a great #LGBTQSTEMDay workshop at the Royal Society of Chemistry - made sure to wear my rainbow test tube badge from @Jamiebgall with pride!

Lots of great ideas about how to improve
#LGBTQ visibility in #STEM subjects. I'd keep an eye out for more announcements soon! 😁

Today the contract for the astronomy network weser-ems #anwe got signed in #oldenburg Germany. It is founded to nurture and develope theoretical and practical #astronomy and #astrophysics in education, science and public relations work as well as sharing scientific knowledge. It consists of 7 astronomy groups and 3 universities from #Bremerhaven #Ostfriesland #Papenburg #Wilhelmshaven and #Oldenburg

Here's a view of some of the fascinating large dark nebulas (LDNs) near the bottom, at a full 1.2 arcseconds / pixel resolution. These are dense regions of dust that light from the emissions nebulas behind them. #astrodon #astrophotography #nebula #LDN

My First Astrophotography. Another shot of the milky way near Crater Lake, Oregon. This time a car drove past and I got super annoyed thinking it would've spoliled the shot, but maybe it worked?

Jupiter, with Europa (and the fainter Callisto) to its right. First processing of tonight's Jupiter data.

Great conditions for planetary imaging tonight. #Astrophotography #astronomy #astrodon

A beauty in the sky!🔥🔭

This is the famous Orion Nebula, an amazingly bright and complex cloud of dust and gas, located - you guessed it - in the constellation Orion. It's location can easily be seen by the naked eye, the sword of Orion. Taken with a camera and telescope last winter.

Help #mastodon ! I'm thinking about getting a new hobby and was wondering whether #astrophotography might be worth trying. Anyone have any good advice for someone looking to taking this past time up from scratch?

Is it straight forward and can someone with no experience in using a #telescope pick it up quickly enough to enjoy it?

Not even looked at the cost of it but thinking about the possibility of taking a picture in space intrigues me! #photography #Space #stars #planets #wales
